In reply to a post by Ribble:

Several of those cabinets have completed so should be available soon.

Just to confirm, Im not sure about R0NSKI, I just added my tuppence in here, but Im on the CMSPR exchange in Birmingham

21 and 22 should go live in a few days. 14 has a blockage and 13 has a problem with the fibre route.
Can't say any more
I don't know which cabinet RONSKI is referring to so unable to comment. Things like section 58's and third party wayleaves can create long delays for apparently no reason.

Both of those seem determined to delay Hunslet 82. Humbug.

I do feel your pain though sjdean.

Thanks.

Much appreciated.

I wonder what's wrong with the fibre route. So it is serious trunking issues (embarrassed of CMSPR here). Do you know when they'll start the work? I'll be driving up and down that road for ever to see what's happening.

Regarding 14 and 22, I guess it's an issue at the cab itself... But I would have thought if there was a blockage to 13, fibre could come another way, perhaps as a junction from 14 down Robin Hood Lane, whether all the junctions are in place to enable that to happen though I don't know. Im just guessing they're trying to go shortest route.

But you see, when you get the info, everythings better again. It's not the delays that bother me, it's the lack of information. BT have done such an amazing job with the first few cabinets, it seemed things would be plain sailing for the rest. So when problems occur, you can't imagine it being trunking (though it was possible), and with everything in situ except for the fibre, you figure the engineers have moved on to another area.

Town's not moving much, to be fair it's only been a few days though and we still have a date of 31st December so there's every chance resources will be moved to exchanges under tighter deadlines. Just after seeing ours being worked on non-stop, a breather takes a moment to get used to

Interests me that BT's checker says up to 59 for our predicted download speed... we're 400m from our cabinet by road (I measured point to point on the council's OS map) which according to this http://www.thinkbroadband.com/guide/fibre-broadband.... means we'd be lucky to get much more than 40. Excellent news if we do get 59 though!

I was referring to NDBRO 26, which I think you said should be enabled later in the year.

They keep putting my cabinet installation date back too Adslmax.

Originally had an August date, then Sept, it's now Oct.

Must be a wayleave problem, although they haven't started on any of the cabs around here yet.

Yes, it a pain to wait so long. I can see two new cabinets is installed (one in Canonbie Lea by roundabout as it not available until March 2014) and other one nearby Madeley also in March 2014. My area is no cabinet yet but now March 2014.

You probably won't get it now until March 2014.

Just gone cabinet hunting. No idea what all the local dog walkers and joggers etc thought with me parking up, staring at green boxes and stooping to listen to them Looking to add the numbers to a Google Map.

Anyway ours is whirring, the 2 nearest are also whirring, and many more I struggled to hear (it's a small town but traffic-wise it's like a city centre these days) but look completed and I *thought* I could hear them, so things are looking very positive. In fact I counted 10 that I suspected were powered (3 I was 100% sure about) which if the Openreach site is anything to go by could mean the exchange gets the nod for orders soon. Even though the exchange itself says 31st December still at present.

There is one other which has disappeared, just out of interest - they'd started on the trenches and I think had put the cabinet in but it's gone and the ground is sealed back up with some markings saying things like "BT duct ends here", I'm guessing they're struggling with that one and am glad it's not ours! I toyed with the idea of a house on that road at one point, even more glad I stayed with the parents now than I was already
